Izumi Okazaki is a Rank 2 Ghoul Investigator of the CCG and a member of the Ren Squad. He is also a practitioner of the Niten Ichi Ryu style of kenjutsu (japanese swordsmanship).
Appearance
Izumi looks like a pretty average person in appearance. He stands at 1,78 m of height and has 75kg of weight, with a lean and slightly muscular body.
His hair is medium-sized and black, with a messy look to it. Izumi's face also looks pretty normal, with the exception of his black eyes, which have a sharp look to it, making it seems like he's always staring something down in concentration.
At home, he always wears a kimono, and in the streets he wears normal looking clothes and pants, with long sleeves and legs, covering all of his body.
Personality
Izumi has a strange personality that most people might find odd at first. Whether it's in his job or a normal situation of his life, he always has a serious expression and talking tone. However, to the surprise of most, he is a kind and sociable person, who enjoys talking to other people. Izumi appears to never lose his calm and composure, even though he might feel nervous or angry inside.
Another important thing about him is that he takes everything that someone says seriously. Most of the time jokes fly over his head, and he can't really tell whether a person is being sarcastic, or even lying. That has already caused many embarrassing moments in his life.
Other than that, Izumi is a very polite person, who places great importance in tradition and dedication to his practice in kenjutsu, always trying to perfect to perfect the art that his master taught him.
History
Not much is revealed about Izumi's past before his 10 years of age. He witnessed an accident that resulted in mental trauma, making him unable to sleep well and to show any sign of emotions. Izumi already lived in an orphanage at that point.
This health problem kept on going for weeks, making him suffer hallucinations and a weak body from sleep deprivation without any apparent cure, until Makoto Okazaki, an old man who came to the orphanage to teach kenjutsu to the kids sometimes, found him in that situation and decided to help the boy. He taught Izumi a meditation method which helped him in a big way. It started to take off all the weight and tension off his back, as if in a miracle, gradually helping in his recuperation. After some time guiding the boy, Makoto decided to take Izumi as his son to further assist in his recovery.
Izumi then started life under his guardian, taking his surname and moving to an old traditional japanese house that he owned. Makoto started teaching him the art and philosophies of the Niten Ichi Ryu, a style of kenjutsu created by the greatest swordsman Musashi. As the years went on, Izumi began to recover his mental health and master the way of the sword that his master taught him. However, after seven years Makoto died of old age, leaving the house and all his possessions to Izumi.
He had never thought what he would do in that kind of situation, so in the year after that Izumi aimlessly tried to search for a path that he would like to follow. Not much is know about what happened between the space of time of that and his joining the CCG, but Izumi himself doesn't like to remember certain things he has done during that period.
Powers and Abilities
Niten Ichi Ryu: Consists on a kenjutsu style created by Miyamoto Musashi, which main traits are the use of strategy against the opponent and of two swords, a katana (long sword) and a wakizashi (short sword), in each hand, making it suitable for fighting against many opponents at the same time. Izumi has currently only a single katana-like quinque, because of the difference of weight and manner of use. He intends to master it first before taking another sword in his other hand.
Strategic Mind: As by the teachings of his master, Izumi has learned how to use strategies in both his personal battles and on the wider battlefield. That being so, he likes to make plans against each of his enemies and to exploit and discover their weaknesses and abilities.
Decisive and Fast Kenjutsu: Izumi's main trait in a fight is fast and decisive strikes against his enemy with the sword. He counts on that ability to be able to end the fight with the least possible amount of moves, surprising and overwhelming his opponent with his sword blows. However, due to Izumi's own health and the taxing amount of energy required of this style, he is not suited to fight drawn out battles.
Quinque
Paiko
Type: Rinkaku
Appearance: It remembers a katana, though a little bit bigger than normal, with a blade of 1m, and a slightly larger width. The weapon is segmented, divided by 8 parts with a light violet color to it. The handle is simply black with some materials that facilitate the grip, and it doesn't have a guard. Along the cutting edge, there are spikes which point downwards in an angle with the blade, one for each part.
Strengths: Suited for close combat and quick strikes, the sword's spikes allow the user to rip apart a ghoul's kagune and body more easily, making for an effective offensive quinque.
Weaknesses: Though it can be used to parry strikes, the sword is not really useful in blocking direct hits, as the blade structure is segmented and may break apart against a strong attack, making it not the most durable quinque.
Mechanics: As it resides on a case, the sword is folded in its 8 parts. However, as the case opens and the pressure is released it quickly hardens the material that connects these parts, straightening the sword, and transforming it into a whole blade. Other than that, the use for the sword is pretty straight forward, and it is suited for use with one or two hands.
